I agree with Michal and I've already pointed this out for the first
series [1]. In my second response I gave up :) but I still think
that it should be made as a generic filter. Since now I'm not the only
one against this change we should consider "fixing" the other places
that already use aclfilter.

<sigh> OK.... To me it just seemed better to admit it was an ACL filter
as opposed to some other kind of filter. As noted that was perhaps a
carryover from my initial efforts where aclfilter and matchfilter were
co-mingled.
I will remove this patch from the series and will send a followup to
undo the others once I push.
